"There are currently no plans for that but that cheer helps me a lot" Does this mean he plans to convince Sega about bringing back the chao garden? I do remember him bringing up a debate about that going on currently. If so, the cheering will definitely be a good point.

I'm kind of nervous about a new chao garden in this generation of games myself. I'd actually prefer a fan game made by people who know a lot about chao to make the chao garden with SA1 and SA2 with new features.

If SEGA actually brought it back and I had an available system its on I would definitely get the sonic game that has it but I feel it would just be too different.

^Unless they made another game like Lost World, which gave you free movement, I wouldn't expect them to add Chao again. Mostly because it would feel awful.With that thinking, it's possible that they wouldn't mess up the Chao Gardens too much. At worst, I would expect them to revert to SA1 DC-esque gardens.
